Opps, hit the wrong reply! Yes, I had bought a Seagate 320GB replacement hard drive for ~$60 since all I will use the laptop for is when traveling. I got encouraged when I hooked everything up and the locked hard drive started spinning but since it was not recognized that was as far as it would...

UPDATE: My curiosity got the best of me so even though I was doubtful as to whether or not the hard drive could be formatted while it had the HDD password activated I decided to go ahead and purchase a hard drive adapter. I had two old IDE desktop hard drives that I wanted to possibly...

It has been awhile since I last posted but I have been busy taking care of other issues since my nephew's passing. I could not find anyone who had a adapter like Mike had mentioned to use to reformat the laptop hard drive so I took the laptop to a local computer store and they claimed that they...

Yea Mike, I have come to the same conclusion, I will find someone that has the adapter to plug my hard drive in as a secondary and then reformat. I am sure I will find someone locally that uses a adapter like you described in order to backup a laptop type HD. I also have not been able to find...

As I stated in my last message, when I hold the zero key down and tap the start button one time I get the screen that I showed. Now there is no beeping sound and I do not get to a screen that offers me any yes/no options. Also, I can not get into a boot screen by holding down the F12 key so I...

Let me apologize to all of you that had taken the time to offer help with the issue my friend had with her computer back in early November. Shortly after I initially had posted the problem my friend had to leave the area due to family illness. When she returned weeks later she informed me that...

Let me add to be sure I understand your request, is this the image you are referring to? This disk management image is from my computer.

Might be a couple days before I can get the info you asked for, will get back to you as soon as I can.

A friend of mine recently had work done on her 32 bit computer which is running Vista Home edition. The work involved having to reload the operating system. She bought a Norton security program online but when she tries to download it, she gets a message that it can not download due to a "error...

Not sure where best to post this but here goes, I had forgotten my password and while going thru the procedure to reset it I found what appears to be where someone has hacked the forum. As I was trying to remember my password I got the screen shown below. "Wrong username or password. You have...
